The Department of Defense is publishing this notice to announce the following Federal advisory committee meeting of the Government-Industry Advisory Panel. This meeting is open to the public.

The invention listed below is owned by an agency of the U.S. Government and is available for licensing and/or co-development in the U.S. to achieve expeditious commercialization of results of federally- funded research and development.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a document entitled ``Revised Recommendations for Determining Eligibility of Donors of Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products Who Have Received Human-Derived Clotting Factor Concentrates; Guidance for Industry.'' The guidance document provides establishments that make donor eligibility (DE) determinations for donors of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (HCT/Ps) with information on infectious-disease risks related to receipt of FDA licensed human-derived clotting factor concentrates (HDCFCs). The guidance explains that FDA no longer considers FDA licensed HDCFCs as a risk factor for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis B virus (HBV), or Hepatitis C virus (HCV). As such, receipt of FDA licensed HDCFCs, or sex with a person who has received FDA licensed HDCFCs, should not be considered a risk factor when determining eligibility of a donor of HCT/Ps. The guidance supplements the recommendations regarding HDCFCs that are contained in the guidance entitled ``Eligibility Determination for Donors of Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Products (HCT/Ps); Guidance for Industry'' dated August 2007.

Summary: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ``Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)Unresponsive Nonmuscle Invasive Bladder Cancer: Developing Drugs and Biologics for Treatment.'' The purpose of this guidance is to assist sponsors in the development of drugs and biologics to treat patients with a high-risk form of bladder cancer. The alternative is radical cystectomy, a surgical procedure with significant morbidity and mortality. This guidance will help overcome some of the obstacles in conducting the studies needed to establish efficacy of drugs and biologics for these patients with an unmet medical need.

This Notice is to invite applications for grants to provide Technical Assistance for Rural Transportation (RT) systems under the Rural Business Development Grant (RBDG) program pursuant to 7 CFR part 4280, subpart E, 2 CFR chapter IV and 2 CFR part 200 for fiscal year (FY) 2017, subject to the availability of funding to provide Technical Assistance for RT systems and for RT systems to Federally Recognized Native American Tribes' (FRNAT) (collectively ``Programs'') and the terms provided in such funding. This Notice is being issued before the FY 2017 appropriation has been enacted in order to allow applicants sufficient time to leverage financing, prepare and submit their applications, and give the Agency time to process applications in FY 2017. This Notice is based on the assumption that the FY 2017 appropriation will be identical to its successors. Should that not be the case, this Notice will be amended to reflect those changes. Successful applications will be selected by the Agency for funding and subsequently awarded to the extent that funding may ultimately be made available to the Agency through appropriations. Awards under both grant Programs will be competitively awarded to eligible applicant(s) which historically has been a qualified national Nonprofit organization. It is expected that one grant will be for the provision of Technical Assistance to RT Projects and that the other grant will be for the provision of Technical Assistance to RT Projects operated by FRNATs only. All applicants are responsible for any expenses incurred in developing their applications. All initially capitalized terms in this Notice, other than proper names, are defined in 7 CFR 4280.403.

The OCC, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites the general public and other Federal agencies to take this opportunity to comment on a revised information collection, as required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA). The OCC may not conduct or sponsor, and a respondent is not required to respond to, an information collection unless it displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number. The OCC previously received OMB approval for a voluntary information collection in the Final Interagency Policy Statement Establishing Joint Standards for Assessing the Diversity Policies and Practices of Entities Regulated by the Agencies (Policy Statement). The OCC now is soliciting comment on a revised information collection which adds a ``Diversity Self-Assessment Template for OCC-Regulated Entities'' (Template) to facilitate the self-assessment described in the Policy Statement. The OCC also is giving notice that it has sent the collection to OMB for review.
